This is where some of the most horrific acts of cruelty ever witnessed has at last been exposed!! An utter disgrace for Ireland.." land of the horse".

The Agriculture Minister has shut down operations at the country’s only equine slaughterhouse where “abhorrent” scenes of cruelty to horses were secretly filmed by RTÉ, pending an investigation.

Two of our donkeys were found dead last winter,it was a horrendous time,and was sadly proven to be the dog dirt that was caught up in their hay .....
Could we pls ask everyone to spread the word,and not walk dogs in the showfield whilst in the process of making hay....
Thankyou x.

Remember Paddy?...We posted his story a few weeks ago,as he was in need of a new home,due to his owner being unwell.

Well,we are delighted to say ,that Paddy has found a wonderful home with his buddies Squeak(who we also rehomed last year), and Bridget:).
It's not often that such a fantastic home offer comes up,so we would like to thank both Liam and Hillary so much,for giving this special boy a beautiful new home and life!!

Both the girls and the boys have finally managed to get out on Summer grass!!:))
Maurice and Plaster are certainly happy to be out enjoying the fresh grass after a long winter!!

We would ask everyone to kindly refrain from feeding the donkeys bread or any treats... they are already very plump,and treats such as bread, carrots etc can cause serious health issues,not to mention choking. Thankyou.

Happy Paddy's Day everyone!!;)))

This is PADDY...(gelded many yrs ago).

He is a VERY special boy,who sadly is in need of a home as soon as possible(March) ,due to his lovely owner being diagnosed with cancer recently.

Paddy has been in the same home for all of his life(10 years),and is a very much loved by his dad.

It is absolutely essential,that Paddy has a 5 star home,with or without another donkey or pony(although living alone,he loves bonding with his cow neighbours who join him in the summer),so he could potentially bond well with a friend or two.

Paddy did get laminitis as a 2 yr old...so ideally ,a home with knowledge of how to manage summer grass etc would be ideal.

He must have access to an open shed in the winter months,and have regular visits from the farrier(who he stands very well for).

Let's work together to get this special boy a 5 star home,and make his dad very happy,as he is very worried about his future.

Thankyou

All the donkeys moved back to the Sanctuary from their Summer grazing today!!😇🥰

Justin has been castrated today and recovering super well!!😇🥰

Today is the day...Justin is bring weaned from his mum Shannon,this means her milk will dry up,and she now longer needs to put up with his sharp teeth!!😆 As u can see...Justin is so independent, he is not one bit bothered,and he and his mum can still see each other through the gate❤. In about two weeks or so,Justin will be gelded,and hopefully able to move in with the boys,or possibly be rehomed with his daddy Leeroy 😇💓.
